Land use bill heads to House floor

A legislative fix that seeks to resolve a land use dispute in the Portland area will likely come up for a vote in the Oregon House after winning the support of a key committee and a variety of stakeholders.

Rep. Brian Clem, D-Salem, sits before maps that explain a proposed legislative fix to a land use dispute in the Portland area. A bill being considered by Oregon's legislature seeks to redraw boundaries for urban and rural reserves in the area. The House Rules Committee approved the bill on Feb. 27 with a "do pass" recommendation.
